This Uncivil War Lyrics

Artist: Martina McBride
Album: Emotion

(Gretchen Peters)

There's a silence on the front linesYou can cut it with a knifeYou can stay and take your changesOr you can run to save your lifeAnd one side is retreatingAnd the other's runnin scaredAnd the drums of war are beatingEver through its undeclared

And both sides say they're winningAnd both sides know they're losingAnd neither one knows that they're fighting forAnd in the quiet little placesYou can see the little facedHuddled right outside the bedroom doorPraying for an end to this uncivil war

Papa needs a new jobSo he's swallowing his prideOh, but it don't go down easyAnd it eats him up insideAnd mama, she don't noticeLittle sister's ragged dressLately she don't noticeMuch of anythingI guess

Both sides say they're winningAnd both sides know they're losingAnd neither one knows that they're fighting forAnd in the quiet little placesYou can see the little facedHuddled right outside the bedroom doorPraying for an end to this uncivil war

They're just fightin off the hungerTryin to keep from goin underBut the wolves just keep onGatherin' round the doorThere's no place to run for coverSo they're turning on each otherCause there really ain't no winners anymoreJust victims of this uncivil war

There's a silence on the front life'sYou can cut it with a knifeYou can stay and take your chancesOr you can run to save your life
